Reported risk: Hill-Rom has become aware of a potential safety issue related to the Slingbar 350, Slingbar 360, Slingbar wide 670, and Sidebar standard, which could be attached to various Liko overhead and mobile lifts. A serious injury to a patient, caregiver, or bystander could result from tripping or otherwise falling in to the Sling bar, typically while the lift is parked or stored when not in use. The Sling hook on the end of the Sling bar could pierce a body structure, such as the head, shoulder, or groin. The affected sling bar designs have not been sold or distributed since May 2008.
